QUICKFIRE ROUND:

Power snack? Trail mix.

Power tune? Anything by the Foo Fighters or 1788-L depending on what mood I’m in!

Power routine to get you through a crazy day? I tend to take the Nike approach of ‘Just Do It’… and coffee.

What brought you to be a LabTech?

The idea of working in an agile and collaborative environment, and assisting teams to find a solution to their problem.

Why do you consider GovTech to be important?

GovTech aims at bringing businesses into the 21st century. New and better ways of working are being discovered but not necessarily implemented. GovTech wants to push the implementation of these methodologies to create an overall better working environment.

What is your superpower?

I’m a Hacker. I like figuring out how things work and learning from getting my hands dirty.

Share something that inspires you and why?

I’m inspired by creative and passionate people. I’m not necessarily the most creative person in the traditional sense so surrounding myself with people who are, and seeing the work that they do definitely inspire me.
